HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST LITTER FOR YOUR RABBIT
By: Andrew Massaro
Many first-time rabbit owners are surprised to learn that rabbits are quite easily litter-trained. These clever, habitual little animals will take to using a designated elimination area as readily as dogs or cats, and a litterbox of some kind is a smart choice for any rabbit owner. Here are some tips on what to look for in a litter pan and litter material.
Size is important in the litter pan. If it's too small, the rabbit may try to use it, but wind up simply hanging its rear over the edge and eliminating onto the floor of the cage. A good-sized litter pan should be big enough for the rabbit to climb into and turn around in. High sides are a plus, as they'll keep the rabbit from kicking litter or waste out onto the floor- just make sure they aren't so tall that the rabbit can't comfortably get into the litter pan. You'll want to check under the litter pan regularly at first to make sure there's no urine pooling underneath it.
